Nixon's Moon Landing Failure Speech
In the event that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had gotten stranded on the moon’s surface, Bill Safire had this speech ready for Nixon to deliver to a terrified, heartbroken nation. Amazing stuff, and a good reminder that the Apollo astronauts went into space knowing that they might never, ever come back.

Lily Allen is hypocrite, doesn't understand...
Quirky indiepop darling Lily Allen has been berating filesharers for bankrupting the music industry. This is dumb. But more importantly, Allen posted an article on her website explaining why copying is bad. An article from Techdirt that she copied and posted without attribution, which is a violation of Techdirt’s copyright. That’s right, she tried to show us that violating...

I don’t understand how the big record companies JUST. DON’T. GET. IT.
God Dammit, Boise State
Yes, that’s really the color of their turf. And now they’re encouraging fans to dress in alternating bands of white, royal blue, and construction barrel orange. I’m assuming this is an effort to blind/induce seizures in their opponents, and to wreak havoc on the TV crews’ and viewers’ sanity.
The Internet is 40!
August 30, 1969. Len Kleinrock and his team manage to send some bits of data from one computer to another via a boring wire. This formed the basis for ARPANET, and later, the Internet.
And today, you’re all posting goofy stuff on Tumblr. Pay your respects and say happy birthday, y’all.

Joe "Girls Gone Wild" Francis court transcript: ...
In a hearing regarding a class action lawsuit against him, billionaire genius douchebag Joe Francis continued to be a douchebag in court:
Q. Do you know what a prisoner is?
Francis: No.
Q. Do you know what a cellmate is in jail?
Francis: No.
Q. Do you know what a jail is?
Francis: Sort of.
Probably faking it for the sake of douchery, but still. Amazing. More here.
The Kogi Truck
daveholmes:
Caught it on Abbot Kinney on Saturday afternoon. Had a short rib taco and the sliders. Good stuff, but I think if I had hit it at a busier time I might have killed someone. As it was, I was forced to endure this conversation as I waited:
Woman: What’s good for HIM? (Gestures to child hanging on her back, who is maybe 2 years old.)
Kogi Truck Guy: Uh, I don’t know…Sliders?
Woman:...
Motivation #2: Six Years of Farmer's Tan
If I took my shirt off, you’d take a look at my farmer’s tan and say “Man, you look like you haven’t taken your shirt off in five years!” And then I would respond by hanging my head and sobbing quietly to myself about how it’s actually been six years.
Not that I have a burning desire to strip naked (while sober), but I do actively avoid situations where I have...
Laurel tavern guy: “about time someone dressed classy showed up.”. Damn right, laurel tavern guy.
"Detroit Book of Love," a stunning, heartbreaking... →
As much as we Detroiters (current and former) like to think that things are getting better — and they are — for now, things are bad. Really bad. This building, for examlple, is not far from the Detroit Opera House.
